I'm really disappointed. The 'Baltimore' script looks like crap, IMO. The bird on the hat is a little better, but its better like spending $1.00 is better than $1.05. Eh.

And the Maryland flag thingie....ugh. I know you guys have been going back and forth about this all day, but I just got up and I'm severly disappointed.

It makes perfect sense to me to have three guys who are DEFINITELY going to be here next season and Markakis, Guthrie, and Jones are going nowhere. Roberts on the other hand could very well be gone if he doesn't sign an extension or the right offer is presented to MacPhail this offseason.

Let's face it, unless Brian signs an extension, he's most likely gone.

Tony.

No offense!

I really hope with my entire heart that you are wrong:002_scry:

I hope Brian Roberts:hearts:stays an O FOREVER:pray::wedge:

The so-called "classy" bird is a loser. The O's glory years were with the cartoon bird. Bring it back. It's a winner. Why did the O's ever get rid of it? It's like the Yankees getting rid of the interlocking N and Y. Just stupid.

I think it had something to do with expunging 88 from peoples minds. ;)

Here are photos of the Orioles and Nationals new road jerseys--without numbers--for comparison. (The Nationals' number font sucks more desperately than a starving baby calf with a stopped up mommy*, so we're removing it from consideration...for the moment.)

Here we see the Nationals have incorporated the "curly W" logo into a nice, three-color Washington script. (You'll notice that this is pretty much the same script as the 1966-94 Orioles jerseys used, with minor modifications. In fact, if you go back to my previous posts, you'll see this is pretty close to the old "Baltimore" script. Check the "t" and the "i" in Washington.)

No pinching, no excessive running uphill. Looks pretty damned sweet, until the get those ghastly more Cowboys than the Cowboys, super-serifed and beveled because the computers let us numbers.

You'll note that the Orioles' "Baltimore" script starts out considerably larger than the Nationals' "Washington" script, and winds up...smaller! All in the same space. Once again, the Orioles have come up with something that looks like you've joined two completely different interpretations of the same thing together.

Both teams get points taken off for splitting letters. You really just should avoid that at all costs.

The Orioles do get considerable points for not going to a custom number font.

*Thanks to the late, great Lester Bangs. :clap3:
